Cooking on a Rock - Bushcraft Breakfast

Hello there guys, welcome back to another video. Out today because it's the first time it's not been raining in like a week, the last month really, but yeah it's just been awful. It is so muddy so I've not really filmed any of the trekking because it would have just taken too long. Sinking, slipping everywhere, the mud and the leaves. So yes, got out, I'm out for the morning. I may do a little work on the shelter while I'm here but the main reason is because I've been collecting these rocks for the fireplace. So I'll go have a play with them and cook up a bit of breakfast and I'm thinking I'm gonna do it on a rock which is you'll know by now by the thumbnail I guess but yeah that's my plan is to cook breakfast on a rock because I've got these big rocks for the fireplace and some slate and stuff as well nice and flat so see what we can knock up here and see if we can see dry wood anywhere. All right so I'm gonna get cracking on on the fire and while that burns down to some coals might do some of this shelter. I've been playing with the fireplace here and as you can see I've kind of got a ring of rocks and quite a flat slate on the top there so I can have to fire here in the mouth and drag any coals under there for heating the hot plate let's call it and like this even all this kindling is just really really wet and that's straight off a dead standing starting to take here now you can probably see the layout of the fireplace a bit better as well The heat's going to go under the hot plate there, mud boggy mud on the ground. What I'm doing here is just extending the front of this shelter out a bit it's been raining so much this last month or so or since I last stayed in it and I've seen how much the rain's got in so I need to bring it out that amount and that's kind of why I left the ridge this long so I'd have that option so it's no real hassle just a few more branches limbs and a bit more mossing and that and other than that it's not too bad inside a few patches but before I stay in it again I'll obviously patch up the moss and that. I'm just going to do for the minute but you can see there's an extra I don't know foot or more foot and a half there just need another bit the other side as well and then that needs a covering as well it's just going to give me a little more room to sit under in the winter and yeah a little more protection from the rain or snow and I think we are nearly ready for cooking. Well I think we're hot enough so I'm gonna doesn't have to do this but I'm gonna put some oil on the rock. The only problem with this setup not being open at the back is scraping out this if it's a bit too hot so we'll just see how it goes it looks like I've got it fairly level there actually so let's see our first two ingredients Cumberland sausage a little bit of a sizzle not bad seeing as the sausages seem to be going pretty well I'm gonna put on the black pudding or blood half a tomato will do okay there's no putting it off anymore it's time to attempt an egg I'm sure if some of you older subscribers would remember my last rock egg second one was good first one not so good some of this bacon I'm gonna grease it up you ready let's just grease out a little here goes oh my god I'm so happy with that it is time to serve this up now I should have made some tongs actually if I put this down here this is going to make life easier I think she's going to come off okay I think she is I wish I had a thinner wider spatula egg slice not bad not bad well I don't mind admitting how happy I am with how that turned out and because I've not done it on the channel in a while I'm going to treat you to some tomato ketchup so you can all moan I'm just going to take this slate off just so I can get this fire to burn down properly and make me tea I can't believe how muddy it is kneeling on this sit pad which is deteriorating beautiful that yolk's still intact yes it is babish clean plate club that was bleeding lovely really enjoyed that and I needed it too working through all this mud so the fire's going down now I don't know if you noticed I brought my old small axe today which obviously isn't great for chopping wood forgot but I was going to carve something like some tongs or something completely forgot well I've got some bits done and I've eaten well so I think it's been a good day so I'm gonna let this burn down that's me fed a little bit of work done so I feel good about myself and I'm off home now so I'll see you on the next one goodbye for now
